It’s finally going to be lowered. New control arms, ball joints, tie rods, idler and pitman arm. New A-body headers, Tejas Steel Works transmission crossmember, poly rear sway bar bushings, poly trans mount. 6/8 drop from Switch Suspension with Firestone helper bags in the rear. I may have forgotten something and will probably need new rear leaf packs like @OldBlueDually did but we’ll cross that bridge when we get to it.

I will be getting a new exhaust system in the process and I imagine I’ll have to buy some new tires since you can use 28” tall tires and retain the front in er fenders with this setup and I bought some that were 29.5” last year. If only I had known...

New pipes behind the muffler on the suburban. Much quieter without all the noise right under the truck.

I'm fixin to go out and pull the old seat belts to get ready for the new ones coming Fri.

Got cleared to go back to work in the morning. So I figured I might as well get it ready for the new ones.

I keep getting spiderwebs with spiders all inside and under the hood. Not big was ones but. I hate spiders! Do y'all know of anything that keeps them away? Mothballs?

Awesome Chip!! I read that too about the 28" tires. Before I purchase tires I will drop the engine in mine and set it on the ground with my current tires....and see what happens.

Those dang custom inner fender wells are around $700 I think it was?? Heck no! For that price I will cut mine apart and weld in new steel if I have to.

There’s a guy on here that made his own inner fenders but I don’t remember his name now. Maybe someone remembers his username and can help. He’s from AZ and his truck is on airbags.

I just bought some plug n play LED headlights for my square s10 on ebay yesterday.
Be careful with those in the winter. They don't get hot enough to melt the snow and ice off the lenses.
